Are we done with the unnecessary censorship yet?

With The Witcher 2 coming out with full frontal nudity are we going to see any improvement in this department or are we stuck with hilariously awkward sex scenes and surprisingly decent brothels? I must admit I was rather shocked to see Morrigan dress up instead of down.

It would be nice to know if we had more to look forward to than even more gratuitous fountains of blood.

Well I don't think unnecessary nudity is going to hurt the game in my opinion. It didn't hurt DAO for me and if you need to see bare breasts to believe the setting, well, that sounds like a personal issue.

Because seeing two woman cow-ride each other in (ugly) undergarments is absolutely ridiculous. A fade to black would have been better then me bursting out into laughter. The "love" scenes just rob from the moment.

Come on, Liara romance got so much "controversy" which is IMO unnecessary... But I doubt they wanna go throught that trouble, even though it's rated M for a good reason. I guess Elder Scrolls style loin clothes would be ok

There is definitely a balance that needs to be struck, but it's something the whole games industry seems to be struggling with (yes even the Witcher) so who knows when we'll see a game with content that matches it's age certificate yet remaining tasteful. I'm not holding my breath for DA2 to be blow us away in this department, but I would be satisfied with something better than Origins (which while not quite as terrible as some people make out to be, was still pretty cringeworthy/awkward in regards to this).
